Off The Rails
There is one man in New Zealand still passionate enough about
our rails and the country they roll through, to put words into
action. A train buff himself, Marcus Lush heads OFF THE RAILS,
venturing from Bluff in the south to Opua in the North, on a
remarkable array of railways - coal, freight, steam, railcars, even
a jigger or two!
Relive his fascinating and entertaining journey - hitching, hiking
and catching a ride on the work beasts still plying the rail
tracks. As well as learning about the richness of New Zealand's
rail history, meet amazing people along the way, with some personal
insights into New Zealand's history and some of our famous - and
infamous - characters. You can also enjoy the spectacular scenery
of New Zealand on this epic journey of discovery.
This is a compelling series for young and old alike!
